I remember when my Dad bought my dog back in 2004. I love that dog and i thought it was my favorite present.

I'm a bit of a pretentious pet owner, and I honestly hope that your dad didn't get you that dog as a sort of surprise present. People seem to do that all the time, and oftentimes they realize in hindsight that the kids aren't particularly good with animals. My mother's malamute was also a Christmas present, but we have a small house and the poor thing had to stay outside where the neighborhood kids would taunt him. It's best to spend a long while thinking about what kind of pet would be best for you rather than having someone spring a dog or cat on you.
That being said, my own pet was considered a Christmas present by my mother, but she was bought about three months before Christmas, as it would be too cold to bring her home later in the year, and reptiles can be difficult to find for sale in the winter, as most are born in the spring or summer and sold in summer and fall.
She's a leopard gecko, a little over five years old at the moment. Here's a picture.
I suppose other than her, I remember getting my first Pokemon game (Silver Version) during Christmas 2002. (though I had borrowed and played through all of the games prior to that)

I was still little, and my mom had gotten me this collector's edition Starscream transformer.

My mom got me a movie-styled Starscream from the
Hunt for the Decepticons toyline last year. It's definitely one of the better pieces in my collection. I'd imagine that was the Masterpiece toy, in which case it's really not something that's recommended for kids because they're so delicate. They're one of those things that are collectors items for a reason.

-- so if Yu-Gi-Oh follows the trend then they'll be worth some decent money soon. Of course people who play competitively will still pay hundreds for certain cards now, so it may be worth just checking a few of the boxes to see what all you have.
